KELLYYou remember.Feeling the wind blowing your hair.Picking a road and going anywhere.We’re heading south.Or maybe west.We don’t know much.We’re making up the rest.Tear up the atlas.Don’t read the road signs.Driving for the sake of driving anywhere.That’s freedom.

SAMFreedom.

KELLYWhat bug do you have up your ass?

SAMI don’t have a bug up my ass!

KELLYDo you even realize how epic this weekend is going to be? There’s like six parties and I’m taking this lecture called Sex and you have to come.

SAMI’m on break. I don’t really feel like going to class.

KELLYWell what do you want to do?

SAMI don’t know.

KELLYSamantha Brown. Do you see that fork up ahead?

SAMYeah.

KELLYWell, one way leads to my school and the other leads somewhere else. Which way do you want to turn?

SAMI don’t know.

KELLYIf you don’t choose, we’re gonna hit that house. Left or right?

SAMHold on, I’m looking at the map.

KELLYMaps are for brain deads. Left or right!

SAMAh… Left!

KELLY turns the car fast. A car horn honks. She flips the guy off.

KELLYVery slow, Brown.

SAMSo where are we going?

KELLYI have no idea.Counting the miles as we go past.

SAMThe tank is full. The sun is high.

KELLYKnowing that every mile could be our last.

SAMJust watching the day go by.

SAM AND KELLYWe won’t look back.We never will.

SAMWe’ve come too far.

KELLYWe’ll drive til we hit Nashville.

SAMNashville.

SAM AND KELLYFreedom.Freedom.Freedom.

KELLYSo what do you want to do now?

SAMMake a right?

KELLYIn life, Sam. Think big. What do you want?

SAMUh I don’t know – I want to get my license.

KELLYBigger.

SAMI want the deafening sound of driving fast with the windows down.

KELLYMore!

SAMI want to break rules and do something unexpected.

KELLYGood. I want Arby’s.

SAMI want to hold on to this moment right now.

KELLYI want to go skinny-dipping in the ocean.

SAMI want to drive forever.And I’m almost starting to feel it.How she took a day and made it special.

KELLYFreedom.

SAMThe long highways.The cheap rest stops.

KELLYFreedom.

SAMThe last minute get in the car and let’s go.

KELLYOh, let’s go.Let’s go.

Pick a road. Pick a highway.Any road is going my way.Let’s go.Live it up with no complicated philosophies.No college, no career,No kids, no fancy house, no.Let’s go.Any road but the one we’re on.

SAM (KELLY)Kelly driving. Me riding shotgun.Just a couple girls out on the highwayWith no road mapAnd no curfew.Just two girls with nowhere we have to be. (Freedom.)Now she’s laughing.And I start laughing. (Freedom.)It’s so real and so like a memory. (Freedom.)And the sun is so bright that I’m squinting.And it feels like I found freedom.
